Probably one of the reasons so many worms are still propagating around the
net. Why would you not apply security updates for an OS? Including Linux,
Unix, Mac etc. They all have security/bug fixes that should be applied from
time to time and they all may break existing applications when the fixes are
applied. Computers are not at the appliance level of operation yet. A bit of
knowledge and user interaction is required to keep then running smoothly.
